What should I know about made-to-measure roller garage doors in Edinburgh?

Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction, as that space decides the size and position of the box.
Check the height at both sides and in the middle, since an uneven floor can make one side of the opening taller than the other.
Note any piers, downpipes or meter boxes outside the opening that could affect a face-fixed door or box.
Check the clear wall either side of the opening, since the guide rails typically need around 75 to 100 mm each side.

How does it work in Edinburgh?

When you accept the quote, the door is ordered to those sizes and your fitting date is confirmed in writing. The date depends on installer availability.

Rules that apply in Edinburgh

Structural work

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need a building warrant from the local authority before work starts.

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.

Made-to-measure roller garage doors in Edinburgh: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Edinburgh?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Do you charge more for Edinburgh than other towns in Edinburgh and the Lothians?

No. Guide prices are the same for Edinburgh as for anywhere else we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Edinburgh?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Edinburgh garage so you can compare.

Is the survey in Edinburgh really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Is a made-to-measure door more expensive than a standard size?

Our prices are set in width bands, and the door within each band is built to your measured sizes. The guide price changes when an opening moves into a wider band, or when it needs work beyond the door itself, such as a new lintel or building out the reveals. That extra work is priced on survey and shown on its own line in your written quote.

Why might my measurements differ from the surveyor's?

Openings are rarely perfectly square, so width and height often vary by a few millimetres from one point to another. The surveyor measures at several points, checks the floor level and works to the figures the door must fit. Small differences from your own measurements are normal, and the written quote is based on the survey.
